Besides, she has taken the £2OOO Hawke’s Bay Cup, the £1750 North Island Challenge Stakes and the £2OOO Wellington Stakes. Waipari, with £15,430, is next on the list. Two Easter Handicaps, at Ellerslie, help to swell his total considerably. His total does not include a successful campaign in Australia, during which he took the A.J.C Metropolitan Handicap. The Cambridge galloper Woodlore has won £13.555 His best wins have been in the Nolan Handicap (twice) at Ellerslie.

Cabriere, a four-year-old gelding from Stratford, comes next with £12,333 ss. His biggest wins have been the £2OOO Great Northern Champagne Stakes (at Ellerslie) and the £ 1328 15s Manawatu Sires Produce Stakes.

As well, Tatua has taken the £1525 Great Northern St. Leger, the £2OOO Great Northern Champagne Stakes and the £lBOO Oliver Nicholson Handicap. Poet’s Pride’s biggest victory was in the £l5OO Suburban Handicap at Trentham earlier this season. His earnings total £7850. The three-year-old filly Noranda is well below her opponents. She has won £2385 in stake money, ■which includes the £2OOO Great Northern Oaks at Ellerslie this season. May Be Soft
